Recently I had the opportunity to participate in the #SundaySupper blog group. For those who are not familiar, it is a weekly themed event where food bloggers share their recipes and discuss the theme on Twitter than Sunday evening. This Sunday, the theme is Back to School Meals. These are recipes that are easy to make for a family and are easy to scale.

My choice for the event is pepper steak. Its a dinner that is affordable and quick to make. It's something that my mom would prepare for my family and me when I was in school, and is the first dinner recipe I think of for this topic.

The main items to be concerned about when making this gluten free are the soy sauce and the corn starch. Be sure to purchase gluten free soy sauce and corn starch. Also, feel free to omit the corn starch if you have a sensitivity towards it. The purpose of the corn starch is to thicken the sauce, and tastes just as great without it.

Thank you to Nicole of the daily dish recipes for hosting, please check her site out here. Also, be sure to check everyone else's recipes:

Ingredients2 cups water1 tbsp butter1 cup white ricehalf of 1 yellow onion, diced1 tsp garlic powdersalt and pepper1 lb top sirloin, sliced into strips3/4 cup gluten free soy sauce1 tbsp gluten free corn starch1/8 cup sugar1 bell pepper sliced into stripsStepsIn a medium saucepan with a lid, boil the 2 cups water and butter. Once boiling, stir in the rice and cover with the lid. Reduce to a medium low heat and cook for about 17 minutes.In a large skillet, add a tablespoon of olive oil and cook the diced onion until it is lightly translucent. Add the garlic powder, salt, pepper, and beef. Cook until the beef is no longer red, stirring occasionally. While the beef cooks, stir the sauce, starch and sugar together until there are no more clumps of starch. Pour the sauce into the pan, and cook for an additional 3-4 minutes, or until the sauce thickens. Fluff the rice before serving, and enjoy!

Yum, I love pepper steak! I'm so glad to be a part of this amazing group - it's led me to discover fantastic blogs like this one. I'm trying to incorporate more gluten-free meals into my diet so I'll be sure to visit often for ideas.

Good idea this the #SundaySupper blog group. When I read all this recipes, it makes me think I'm at the table in a gourmet restaurant... Moreover, for the'' salt and pepper'', pepper is often neglected because of poor quality. I finally opted for the aromatics peppers like Kerala pepper or Kampot pepper. They are delicious, and finally real spices and flavors.
